i see you. have to say, my gearbox fanboyism has faded over the years. added weight, expense, drag, inability to shift under load, gripshift, service issues... current 1x is just SO damn dialed right now (and i haven't broken a derailleur in literally years), that i'm failing to see a compelling benefit of gearbox tech right now (apart from mass centralization, but that's not enough to offset everything else, for me). the conventional drivetrain iteration of this is nice, however.
